l Pursuant to an Order of the Commission, dated May 12, 1980, this

, Licensing Board has been designated to conduct the proceeding with respect to the proposed formal license amendment incorporating the Technical Specifications proposed in the February 11, 1980 Order. In order to conform the proposed Technical Specifications with the actions taken by the Director in the attached Amendment of Order, the NRC staff hereby moves that the proposed Technical Specifications be fomally modified to conform to the Amendment of Order subject to the authority which 10 C.F.R.

I 2.717(b) explicitly preserves in the presiding officer for purposes of this proceeding. In this connection, however, the Staff has also filed, on this date, a " Joint Motion to Approve Stipulation " " Joint Stipulation Regarding Settlement of ECNP Proposed Contentions," and a proposed " Order Granting Joint Motion to Approve Stipulation." Entry of an order such as that proposed will terminate this proceeding and would obviate the need for the Licensing Board to act on the attached Amendment of Order. None-l theless, the Staff requests that the Board rule on this motion prior to ruling on the other matters noted above. In any event, to assure that public notice of those matters encompassed by the Amendment of Order is provided, the Staff is publishing the Amendment of Order in the Federal Register, consistent with its long-standing practice. Formal amendment of the license will await action by the Board.

Respectfully submitted, M

Lawrence J. Chandler

Our review of the Recovery Operations Plan Changes requested by these two  !

l 1etters is presented in separate concurrently issued correspondence. Our i ,

review of the Appendix B change, requested in the April 12, 1985 letter.

l will be issued in separate correspondence.

l-'

Your April 12, 1985 letter requested changes to the Appendix A PTS to i

! confom with the requirements contained in the NRC Generic Letter 83-43,  !

! " Reporting Requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Sections 50.72 and 50.73, and ,

the Standard Technical Specifications." 'Other changes requested delete l l requirements for equipment and monitoring that are no longer needed and t

! propose editorial changes to improve clarity. You also requested that  !

1 reference to the Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS)

! be dropped from the definition of " review significant"; under the current

! definition, you are required to make a determination as to whether .

~!

! documents implementing the cleanup are bounded by the PEIS. Your June 18, j 1985 letter also requested a nusber of administrative changes to correct or 1 clarify the PTS. j l

l The staff has reviewed the safety evaluations in your April 12, 1985 and I

! June 18, 1985 letters and has concluded, with the exception noted below,  !

! that your requests are acceptable with minor changes as discussed with your i i staff. We have determined that it is not appropriate to delete the PEIS as j a document used to determine review significance; however, for those t i activities that are clearly within the scope of an NRC approved system l 4

description, SER or TER, no additional comparison to PEIS values is t l

required. The text of the definition for " review significant" has been f i  !
